The gist of the game is that you need to search for Oliver Hook's treasure by searching all over the world and exploring many different scenes.

The gist of the game is that you need to search for Oliver Hook's treasure by searching all over the world and exploring many different scenes. The dialogue is written in large print so that it is easy to read and it is not excessive. The graphics are reasonably good and clear with just a few dark areas in some scenes. The puzzles are reasonably simple but each type is fairly repetitive, like moving and placing coins and jewels in chests, jigsaw type puzzles, finding the differences by comparing two pictures either side by side, mirror image or inverted, which is the most challenging and joining ropes. After a while the spot the difference puzzles become a bit of a pain. The hidden objects in most cases are reasonably easy to find but some need a bit more scrutiny and others are quite difficult to find in the dark areas. You can also look for valuables in each scene to add to your score. A good pleasant and relaxing game for all ages. Show less

I recommend this game!

I played the 60 minute demo and actually played it in two separate sessions, so my impression of the game is a little disjointed. However, based on the last 30 minutes I played, this is a coupon-code buy for me.

I played the 60 minute demo and actually played it in two separate sessions, so my impression of the game is a little disjointed. However, based on the last 30 minutes I played, this is a coupon-code buy for me.

As the description of the game says, locations for HOS are found all over the world. The scenes are bright (unless you have to search with a flashlight) and the graphics clear. The HO themselves can be very small and often a challenge to find, which is good and makes this game appeal to me.

Your performance on each scene is rated according to the time it took you to finish, the number of coins you found, and other criteria. There are coins scattered throughout each scene and these coins can be used to purchase power ups from the travel store. Hints are also available. I did not need either the hints or the power ups during the time I played.

The mini-puzzles that I played during the hour demo were extremely easy and repetitive. Perhaps as the game progresses, this may change. The ratio between HOS and puzzles was about 2 to 1.

This game has nothing really to make it stand out. It is just a good-quality, HOG for those of use who prefer looking for objects over other activities. Show less

I recommend this game!

This would be a fun straight HO game but the pictures aren't very sharp and its way to grainy. Be fun to find the treasures if the graphics were nice and sharp but as it is, its kind of terrible.

I don't recommend this game.
